Right-handed pitcher Jeremy Beasley (29) will stay with the Hanshin Tigers of the Japanese professional baseball league.
"Beasley and Hanshin have agreed on a big framework for renewing their contracts for next season," Japanese media Sports Hochi reported on Sunday. Official announcement will be made later. "I'm ready to have another fight," Hanshin coach Fujikawa Kuji welcomed Beasley's stay. Beasley pitched in 14 games this season, winning eight and losing three with an earned run average of 2.47 (76 2/3 innings).
Beasley, who joined the NPB after signing a contract with Hanshin in December 2022, was guaranteed his third season by showing better performance than his first season (1-2 with an ERA of 2.20). There was also a crisis as he opened the second division due to shoulder pain. However, he showed off his strong performance by allowing 29 consecutive scoreless innings in the second division, and registered in the first division in mid-May. Notably, he made a strong impression by throwing a complete game in 119 pitches in a match against the Seibu Lions on June 8. Notably, he made a strong impression as a giant killer by winning all three games against the Yomiuri Giants. 먹튀검증
Beasley also expressed his affection for the team when he departed Korea last month. "I love the Tigers," Beasley said. "I was able to have great experiences over the past two years. I feel I am in a good environment. I want to come back because I am attached to the team." He also mentioned Fujikawa. "He has learned many things," Beasley said. "I think he will be a good team because he has a lot of great coaches. The players also know him well. I think I can communicate well," he said, looking forward to the reunion.
Meanwhile, Hanshin also renewed its contract with right-handed pitcher Harvey Guerra along with Beasley. Guerra, who spent his first season with the NPB, pitched in 59 games this year, winning, losing 14 games, making 41 saves, and posting an ERA of 1.55.
